The Okra Principle is an enthralling look at the ups and downs in the lives of
three Nigerian brothers and their close friends. Okra soup, a traditional
Nigerian dish that the brothers often partake in is cleverly used to lighten the
underlying serious issues that the story explores.

Arinze, the eldest brother, is very dissatisfied in his marriage to Ifeoma
who never pulls punches in speaking her mind. His attraction to her has
dwindled and he is now getting gratification from avenues that could
destroy the sanctity of their marriage? Will their bond hold?

Nonso, the middle brother, is married to the beautiful but insecure Tasha. Tasha
takes pride in being an African American and firmly stands up for her roots as
does Nonso. Their cultural differences quickly lead them down a destructive path
and neither seems to have the will or intention to compromise.

Chukwuma, the youngest of the three brothers is engaged to Chinwe, a young lady
from his tribe but then an incident from the past rears its ugly head. Will
their similar culture and beliefs be enough to make them stay focused on the
present and forget the past?

Finally we take a look at Marcel, a close friend to the brothers and a consummate
ladies man who is incapable of commitment. Marcel's abode is where all the men
go to sort out their problems when their lives don't go exactly as planned. A
storm will always rage and try to uproot even the most deep-rooted
structures. Who will be left standing after it blows over?
